WHAT ARE THE REMEDIES FOR SUCH PATERNAL PAIN?

The day after the fateful non-ceremony, they were in front of the Andersons' house, Mr Leonard and his brother Antony, still very nervous, talking about the events of the previous day.

"If you continue in this way, my brother, you will end up killing yourself with nervousness. Sensible not

Yeah, getting carried away by nervousness and sadness. " Antony Anderson said, worried about his brother walking around in agony.

Without stopping walking, Leonard Anderson, looks directly at his brother and with a shake of his head and a nervous voice, he replies "Enough of advice, please ! At the moment, they simply pass through my mind and my heart. Don't give me any more advice, at the moment I just need a friendly shoulder, my brother! " and with a defeated sigh and looking down at his hands, mr. Leonard continued his outburst:

"Show me a father who his son idolized as I idolized mine, who, like me, had undone the great fortune of owning him, and orders him to speak to me of patience. In width and breadth, he measures his sadness and mine, letting the misfortunes of both correspond in such a way that mine and his end up confused in the aspect and shape and in all the minutiae ... If he smiles and says "Hello ! " instead of regretting it, ordering the pain to continue its way, mending misfortune with proverbs: bring me this man, so that patience may he teach me. " Leonard raises his head, and looking steadily into his brother's eyes, continues his speech "But there is no one like that. No, my brother ... Men only give advice, they only try to console, when others are in pain. But if they happen to feel them, they come, in passion their advice is transformed, which, shortly before, to cholera indicated effective medicine and they proposed to tie irresistible madness with a tenuous thread, with hollow words, to calm the agony and the pain with the wind. No, no! It has always been the habit of men to speak of patience to those who are under the burden of pain. "

Antony Anderson, took his brother by the shoulders and was about to say something to try to calm him down, when he was sharply interrupted by Leonard "Please! Leave me alone! I am flesh and blood. There was never a philosopher who endured any toothache, even though he wrote divine works. " And with a sudden movement, he removed his brother's hands from his shoulders.

Accepting that his brother would not settle down anytime soon, Antony Anderson tried to advise again, calmly in his voice, "Do not at least bear the whole burden; may your offenders also suffer. "

Leonard, pondering his brother's words, takes a deep breath "You are right on that point, my brother! ... It is advisable to do as you suggest. My father's heart tells me that Blaine was slandered, and that young Kurt will know. " And with a new conviction in his voice, he continues "... And the prince and all the people who have dishonored him have joined".

Noticing the arrival of Prince Don Davis and young Kurt, Antony touched his brother's arm and spoke in a lower tone alerting Mr. Leonard of their presence. Behold, Claudio and the prince are coming in a hurry. "

Ignoring the uncomfortable situation, don David approaches the Anderson brothers and greets them, as he would on any other normal day "Good morning, gentlemen!" and is accompanied by the cordial greeting of the young friend Kurt "Gentlemen!" who, along with the good morning, made a respectful courtesy to you. " Good morning to everyone".

Trying to stay as calm as possible, sir. Leonard says to the two newcomers, "Listen to me, gentlemen." But he is interrupted by don David, who dryly says he is hurried and busy. "Forgive me, sir. Leonard, but we are in a hurry ".

Outraged by such an attitude by the prince, the agonized father, promptly replies, "Is this so now, my lord? Hurry? Good morning and do well ? " And with a negative shake of the head and hands waving nervously, Leonard continues, "... Now you're in such a hurry that you don't even have a minute to spend with an old man?"

Not wanting to get into another discussion, Dom David replies as calmly as possible "Don't be that reason, my good old man, for wanting us wrong."

Feeling the prince's discomfort and his brother's nervousness, Antony Anderson says "If my brother could get satisfaction from his offenders, things could take a more satisfactory turn."

Visibly concerned for the two brothers, young Kurt asks seriously, "Who offended him?", Being surprised by Mr. Leonard "Who offended me? You, impostor! Yourself." And advancing towards the young man who found himself frozen in place, Leonard continued harshly, "No, don't draw your sword; don't scare me. "

Kurt, taken by Mr. Leonard's action, surprised raises his hands in surrender and says "Damn my hand, if I were to frighten such noble gentlemen. In no way did I intend to scare or threaten you, my lord. I have respect for my elders "

Not satisfied with the young man's reaction, mr. Leonard continues to deliver his nervous speech "Don't make fun of my age, boy. I did not speak like a madman or a dizzy old man who now resorted to the privileges of old age, just to boast of his youthful deeds or what he had yet to do, if the old man was not already. "... and pointing his finger directly in Kurt's face, Leonard continues his speech, in a deep and solemn voice "No! In your mind Kurt, find out that you offended me and my poor son to such an extent that I put aside all respect and reverence, in spite of my age and the heavy burden of pain, I challenge you as a man. . "And looking cold and directly into Kurt's eyes, Mr. Leonard continues," I say, therefore, that you have slandered my innocent son. Your defamation destroyed my son's pure and naive heart. " And turning his back to the boy, throwing his arms in the air, he says in a deep voice, "Now ... now he's with his ancestors, ... ah! in a sepulcher where he had never slept any slander except this one. ... Infamous! that your villainy invented ".

Surprised by the outburst of the Lord, Kurt swallows and asks in confusion "My villainy?", Which is answered, by Mr. Leonard, angrily in the words "Yours, Kurt ! That's exactly what I said: yours. "

Feeling the nervousness of the Anderson brothers, and the discomfort of his young friend Kurt, Dom David intervened "My good old man, you are not serious.", And before he managed to say anything else, the prince is interrupted by don Leonard.

"Yes, my lord. In his body I will leave the test, if he has the courage, I don't mind his knowledge in fencing, his daily exercises, his youth and all his vigor and flourishing ... I will avenge my son's honor! "

Increasingly surprised by the situation, Kurt raises his hands, as if in surrender, "Back! I have nothing to do with you. I would never duel with you! "

It is then that, feeling defeated, Mr. Leonard lets himself lean on his own brother, and in an even more solemn voice he says to the young boy "Is that how it will be then?" and his voice choked with emotion, mr. Leonard continues, "You killed my son ! You killed my only and beloved son "

Kurt takes a step back, overwhelmed by the feeling that the words have caused. Wide eyes and gasping breath, but that didn't stop the old man from saying "If you kill me, boy, at least you will kill a man." Leonard finished, almost without strength being supported by his brother, Antony Anderson, who completed "He is going to kill two, two men. It does not matter. Kill me first. "

Antony, trying to calm his own brother, hugged Leonard, and looking directly into Kurt's eyes, spat with venom at the words "Settle with me, false noble. For the honor of the Andersons. Come on, young man, show me your courage. "

Trying to take the lead again, Leonard calls out to his brother, but is interrupted by Antony once again "Mano! Believe! God only knows how much love I dedicated to your son, my beautiful nephew. Now he is lifeless, slandered. Taken to death by biltres who do not have the courage to face a man, but are full of courage to utter lies against an innocent young man "

"Brother ..." Leonard spoke again, barely raising his voice and eyes to young Kurt and the prince who heard everything with surprise on their faces.

With his hand on his brother's chest, Antony looks directly at Kurt, but says to his brother "Don't get involved in this anymore, my brother ... Alone I will take care of them all, for the life of my beloved nephew!"

Determined to put an end to the situation that unfolded in front of him, Don David put his hand on Kurt's shoulder as a sign of support for the boy, and, addressing the two brothers, spoke without showing any hesitation in his voice "We don't want to, gentlemen, arouse your discontent. It is painful for us to know that your son no longer lives. But, in my honor, everything that has been said is proven: it is true. "

Not accepting what the prince said, mr. Leonard tries to question "But my lord ...", and is abruptly interrupted by the prince "I don't want to hear you."

Outraged at being interrupted, mr. Leonard takes a deep breath, overcome with a certain revolt by Don David's action, and with a harsh voice, he shoots "Don't you want to hear? Come on my brother! Let's go. They will hear me, one way or the other! ". And turning his back on the two young men, Leonard leaves followed by his brother who says, as a farewell, "Come on, my brother. You will be heard, Leonard, or one of us will suffer for it "!"

As the two brothers walked away towards the house, Don David and Kurt, follow them with their eyes, totally silent and surprised by the reaction of the two masters. The two young men were so distracted by their thoughts, they barely noticed Jeff approaching.
